The state of knowledge on four families of Syngnathoidei fishes (Teleostei: Syngnathiformes): Aulostomidae, Centriscidae, Fistulariidae and Solenostomidae

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...

The Seagrass Microbiome

, 2014
Microbial organisms can be found in nearly all environments on Earth and have been shown to play critical roles in the health of organisms and ecosystems alike. However studies of these organisms have often been limited to culture-dependent methods which inadequately capture the diversity of these important communities. The microbial communities living

From occasional records to regular presence: Increasing occurrence of the bastard grunt Pomadasys incisus in the French Ligurian Sea (northwestern Mediterranean)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The bastard grunt Pomadasys incisus (Bowdich, 1825), an Atlantic teleost, has recently been recorded at multiple sites along the French Ligurian Sea. Three juveniles were captured in Villepey Lagoon, while several groups of sub‐adult and adult individuals were observed at Cagnes‐sur‐Mer and Monaco between 2020 and 2024.

Rocking the Boat: Damage to Eelgrass by Swinging Boat Moorings

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Seagrass meadows commonly reside in shallow sheltered embayments typical of the locations that provide an attractive option for mooring boats. Given the potential for boat moorings to result in disturbance to the seabed due to repeated physical impact ...

Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., a hairy ghost pipefish (Teleostei: Solenostomidae) from the Southwest Pacific, with an integrative comparison to S. paegnius

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of ghost pipefish, Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., is described from the Coral Sea based on specimens (18–34 mm SL) collected from coral reef habitats in Queensland, Australia. The species is diagnosed by the following combination of characters: abundant elongate integumentary filaments imparting a conspicuously shaggy ...

Updated extinction risk of seagrass species in the Tropical Atlantic Bioregion

Frontiers in Conservation Science
Seagrasses can form vast meadows in coastal areas and provide valuable ecosystem services. Despite their importance, seagrasses are threatened, and their spatial extent and ecological condition have declined worldwide.

Temperature, but not acidification, influences the growth and lipid profile of juvenile sand whiting, Sillago ciliata (Cuvier 1829)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Seafood provides an essential source of macro‐ and micronutrients for coastal communities worldwide. Climate change is a key threat to seafood security, altering the sizes, abundances, distributions, physiology and ecological interactions of fisheries species, and increasingly, there is evidence of impacts to seafood nutritional quality.
